Roe v. Wade was a landmark 1973 Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that the Constitution protects a woman's right to choose to have an abortion, establishing a woman's legal right to make that decision without excessive government restriction. The decision was based on the right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. It effectively legalized abortion across the United States, but the ruling was overturned by the Supreme Court in June 2022 in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, removing federal protections for abortion rights.
